Shingley Beach Resort Airlie Beach

... chase some fish around with the underwater camera and got some good snaps. Then, Whitehaven beach hooray! The dude who booked our trips could only describe the sand as being "****ed up" and we didn't argue, it's ridiculously soft. Apparently it can whiten your teeth too but all I got was a gritty mouth. Stingrays were hanging around in the water too!<br><br>Night time brought more mayhem, I think it was Erin and Caroline who kindly ...

... the boat were trampolines which you could lie down on and soak up the sun - I didn't feel sea sick at all out there which was great. We sailed for about 2.5 hours before we reached our stop of Whitehaven Beach. This beach is out of this world - the sand is 98% silica and it never gets hot. Apparently its also great for cleaning jewellery. It was snow white - we were given just over an ...

... was a horse racing game, of which included the 'everyone stick their toe in a pint of wine' and who ever loses has to drink it, Kyll the crazy Swede loses, and I have never seen such a look of glee (seriously!) to down this drink, the games get gradually worse (including the back wash game, oh dear!) Very, amusing night and a really funny bunch. One of the guys decides he will sleep up on deck, it lasts approximately 1 hour before he ...

... drinking when we were getting our breakfast, so by dinner time they were looking pretty shabby. After food and a few beers we headed back to our bed ready for a busy day tomorrow. <br><br>Ok i'll just add on the bottom about what we got up to before we got on the boat on Saturday morning. Simple really up early to pack our bags for the boat and stuff everything else into our big rucksacks. We weren't allowed to take our big packs or any bag with a zip because they say that ...

... And the other travellers are younger and therefore slightly more annoying....<br>The travellers are split between those who have been to Asia and those that haven't.... us lot that have been to Asia annoy the hell out of the rest as we're always comparing everything to Asia, especially prices!!<br><br>So yep, heading up north - hoping to go up to some rainforests and try and avoid partying for a few days.... we'll see.....<br><br>Only 2 weeks left in Australia now..... home in less than 3 weeks.. oh my god!

... all**dings ist: ein 3,5 Stunden Schiffs-Tango auf rauh** See **gibt: Konstante Angst zu reih**n...od** benennen wir es and**s: Dein Mittagessen hat anscheinend das Bedürfnis auch die schöne Aussicht mal zu betrachten und v**sucht sich einen Weg nach oben zu v**schaffen.<br>Mein Kampf: Ich war so müde, konnte mich all**dings nicht hinsetzen, weil es die Übelkeit noch schlimm** machte. Jetzt hab ich mich an die Reeling geklamm**t, auf ...

... br><br>The next day we took off for Stonehaven Bay stopping at Langford Island, a sand island, for a swim and a snorkel. Langford Island is opposite the exclusive Hayman Island. We stayed there for a few hours before sailing on to Stonehaven Bay for the night.<br><br>On our last day we got up early and set off towards Daydream Island for the day. For a $55 mooring fee we had access to all the facilities on offer.<br><br>Daydream Island is ...

... segeln und schnorcheln verbracht hatten, startete am Abend die erste Bootsparty. Unser engischer Entertainer James (Rugbyspieler mit 2 Meter Groesse und ca. 110 kg) machte uns an diesem Abend mit seinem Freund "Frank the Tank" bekannt was in einem Totalabsturz aller sich an Board befindender Leute und einem Bootflitzer eines Iren endete.<br>Am 2. Tag starteten wir trotz Katers zeitig in der Frueh zum Whitehaven Beach, einem Strand der seinem Namen wohl alle Ehre macht. Den gesamten ...

... there certainly seemed to be a lot more parents and children visible around the place, but maybe that&#8217;s just because they&#8217;d been scared off by the Brits the night before. There were a few activities put on, all the kids seemed to love doing the limbo and the tug-of-war. I was completely exhausted, and with the dreaded &#8216;Contiki Cough&#8217; starting to take hold, I decided a very early night was in order.
